Mini Quark build

If your radio will allow it John, you could set it up a mix, so that as you open the throttle the travel on the elevator & aileron reduces. Might make it more user friendly under power :?:

Hi Bill,
It would be nice but I don't think my radio can do that. However thinking back, I had loads of expo set up but forgot to turn the switches on to activate it so was flying on sensitive setup. I always get the basics wrong Doh.
In the meantime I've beefed up the ailerons by carving back the rib tops and sheeting with 1/16. I also added shear webbing. This combined with stronger hinge tape should solve the flutter problem. They're pretty rigid now.
John.
Happy Days:
Well done John :clap:
A new Hybrid glider for the market place? Or just a one off for yourself? :?:
No doubt Fred will frown on the concept and call out “Cheat” whenever he sees it flying. :roll:
Although come to think of it that would be a good name for it, don’t you think?
“The Cheetah…". (Fast and Agile) :D
Well I thought it was a good idea anyway. :lol:

Hi Keith,
Yes cheetah would be quite apt. I do think this conversion would go down well and appeal to more than just slope fliers (it goes so well). If you get to try it before I break it you will want one. Going to try it again on wednesday evening on flat field and see how mods work out.
John.
Fred:
Congratulations John! :clap: :clap:
First electric Micro Quark of the known Universe :)
Looks like it is flying very well on top of that!
For the flutter, good move on the ailerons, as it was not originally designed to go like a mini hot-liner, but that thing looks like it is doing well in this area as well :clap:
Could not go flying on Saturday... Wife decided I had to re-do a bathroom :!: Would have loved to see it in the flesh (thanks for the video!)
